MONTROSE HILLS
PHILOSOPHY

Nadia Knight | Developmental Educator | Montrose Hills

"When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything."

Welcome to Montrose Hills | Therapy | Developmental Education, situated in the picturesque Whitsundays.

 

Our philosophy is centred on delivering impactful therapy in a relaxed, non-clinical atmosphere.

 

We offer therapeutic services to children, youth, and adults who are facing challenges in functional domains such as communication, social interaction, learning, self-care, and self-management. We also assist with skill development, goal setting, emotional regulation, sensory awareness, and more.

 

These therapeutic services are provided through the expertise of a Developmental Educator (allied health professional) and can be offered as a mobile therapy service.

You may wish to integrate complementary therapeutic experiential learning with animals and nature under the guidance of our Developmental Educator.

Our collaborative and holistic approach empowers growth, learning, and connection. We are an inclusive, supportive community committed to enhancing the lives of people with a disability and believe an environment promoting comfort and enjoyment is key to growth and development.
